Good bourbon?

A friend gave me a bottle of this the other day. I know there are some experts here, so my question is, will this go better with Sprite or Coke?

 

Yes.

 

I drink my bourbon straight. Man up

 

I like my bourbon with a splash of water

 

The distillery puts the right amount of water in there. What, you think you know more than them?

 

Mountain Dew.

Amateur.

 

That stuff comes from NY, Bourbon is made in Kentucky if you really want to know

 

with ginger ale for cheap stuff, neat or on ice for the good stuff for me

 

Old Fashioned for this guy. I make my own syrup with brown sugar, orange zest, and bitters. Toss in a bourbon soaked cherry to make it all fancy and I’m a happy camper.

 

Worlds best Bourbon this year was awarded to one from Texas I believe. It’s not like Champagne or Port where it’s production area is linked to its criteria for status.


I think...

 

I was drinkin on some Bullet Rye last night. That shit is tasty

 

Bulleit

Red Eagle Distillery! Anyone from north east Ohio, or visiting, check it out. The Swamp Water(the name made me try it) it was incredible!!

 

Bourbon is in the eye of the beholder. Personally, if I have to drink bourbon, it’s Woodford Double Oak.

Try lowland scotch.

 

Brah! This is a another bourbon thread. Please keep your burned moss drink to yourself.

 

I've amassed a collection of about 70 bottles of bourbon in the past couple years and have one of those widow janes in there. It's pretty good but reminds me a bit of George Dickle (and a few others) in that it just doesn't have the same profile of the gold standards like Evan Williams, Wild Turkey, all of the Buffalo trace stuff ect ect. It's not bad, just different.

 

Dickel.

 

70 bottles?!

You don't drink - you look?

I can't keep bottles. I guess I'm doing something wrong, but to paraphrase John Prine, there is that smile.

Cheers,

Dave

 

I raise my kilt in your general direction.
